Abstract :
An aqueous and hexane (hot and cold) extracts of Acacia nilotica fruit were evaluated for their phytochemical properties and antibacterial activities. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannins, co-anthraquinores, alkaloids, flovonoids, saponin, terpenoids and glycosides. The antibacterial activities of extracts were performed on water isolates collected randomly from different sites of Khartoum State. The bacteriological analysis of water isolates showed the presence of Salmonella, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus and Corynebacterium. Both aqueous and hexane extracts exhibited antibacterial activities against the test bacteria, and the aqueous extract was more effective than the hexane (hot and cold). The salmonella was the most sensitive bacteria to the all extracts.
